Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effectiveness of brain MRI in predicting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes (NDO) in infants suffering from severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, aiming to identify the best timing for conducting these MRIs.
- - Out of 732 studies screened, 22 were selected, analyzing MRI data from 120 infants; results showed a high positive predictive value (PPV) of abnormal MRI findings for impaired NDO, particularly when MRI was conducted after 6 weeks.
- - Despite the promising findings, the study faced limitations due to significant variations in study designs and possible selection bias, suggesting that more prospective research is needed to solidify these conclusions.
